There are few guys who switched to SSD but i'm not sure if they still active here.

Is it normal to have temp of 80-90 when playing games like tf2 on this dv6-6c19 laptop?

How do I overclock the laptop's GC? MSI Afterburner itself will work?

I assume u playing with TurboBoost on? Try disable it.


Yes and switch to Fixed method.

So I can't overclock without sacrificing dynamic switching feature?

I think so.
Try include all .exe in Afterburner folder to use High-Performance?

really need to overclock a nb meh? i doubt the stock cooling would be enough for it XD

Not so hardcore.. a jump to 800/900 is pretty good.

i am upgrading to SSD in few days time, will try to give some feedback after that

Very nice!

So now you have a total of 2TB HDD space?

Added on March 7, 2012, 4:34 pmOn a side note, I am finally bluescreen-free on my DV6-6168TX.

Previously all my BSODs pointed to either atikmpag.sys or dxgkrnl.sys. They happened after waking up from hibernate. After POST, the screen would go dark for 10 seconds, then BSOD.

To fix this, I set the BIOS to "dynamic" graphics then using Leshcat's Catalyst 12.1 WHQL UnifL drivers, set it to use the Intel graphics for all applications regardless of whether or not the AC adaptor was plugged-in.

Finally no more BSOD.

I use the DV6 for work and for a lot of Powerpoint presentations when I am away from the office, so no need for Radeon graphics. Perhaps when I start gaming, I'll set it to Radeon.

Give us some review or tips when u've got it.

Congratz to you.

I think it is something to do with dGPU not able to wake up fast enough to feed the iGPU, even on Nvidia side have this similar problem.

the intel graphic is sufficient for me to play most of my old games =.=;
i only switch the ati for those heavy graphic games. the new intel graphic not bad.

is DV6-6C19TX available in steel grey colour?

only available in dark umber colour i guess.

malaysia only have dark umber color... @@

u guys know how to order online which allow configuration ?

Thanks man, now temperatures down to 70 range. 20 degrees drop is REALLY significant.]


Somebody give this guy a gold medal already for all his advice here in this thread.

unfortunately its not available in malaysia. only in the US.

Really? I wonder how the Apple MacBook Pro (OSX Lion) does switching graphics? My friend has one, and he never had problems waking up from hibernate even when booting to Windows.

MBP? If i recall correctly, Apple use their own method of graphic switching, iGPU doesn't work in Windows so dGPU will run all the times..
